Jamie and Jools tied the knot in June 2000 in a lavish ceremony at All Saints Church in Rickling, Essex. 

They’ve since welcomed five children Poppy Honey, 18, Daisy Boo, 17, Petal Blossom, 11,  Buddy Bear, nine and three-year-old River. 

But despite already having a sizeable brood, Jools recently admitted she wants sixth child, after previously saying they would stop at five.

The couple welcomed fifth child River in 2016 and at the time were adamant he would be their last child. 

But Jools confessed to considering expanding her family once more in an interview on fitness podcast, The Red Room.

The former model declared ‘I want to keep going until I can’t’ as she spoke to Barry’s Bootcamp UK’s founder Sandy Macaskill and head trainer Anya Lahiri.

She said: ‘I will probably think about stopping wanting another baby when I am about 47.’
